Mayor Eric Adams’ meeting with DHS Secretary Mayorkas over migrant surge results in NYC liaison
Mayor Adams met with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Thursday — who promised to send a staffer to the Big Apple to help with its relentless migrant surge, sources told The Post.
Adams issued yet another desperate plea for help earlier this week, saying, “We have stepped up and led the nation, but this national crisis should not fall on cities alone to navigate.across the five boroughs — including two mega shelters on the Upper West Side — as it looks to open even more.“Our shelter system has doubled in size, and although it’s no longer on the front pages of our daily tabloids, we are still dealing with a silent crisis,” Adams said earlier this month.
In January, Hizzoner made a surprise visit to El Paso to tour migrant shelters and border processing facilities. The meeting took place on Capitol Hill for roughly an hour, the source said, but couldn’t provide additional details as to when the staffer would start and what exactly their duties would be.
